Description
Happy New Year! And welcome back to The JONATHAN BENAIAH Podcast. Today I am joined by 5 guests, the most that we have had on any episode so far. In this six-part episode, we will be scheming through some of the biggest tourism and conservation stories of 2022 while providing some expert projections for 2023. From Ghana, I will be speaking to Kojo Bentum-William the publisher of the leading travel magazine, Voyages Afriq, who is also the Senior Expert on Communications in Africa at the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) Joining the podcast from National Geographic’s number one safari destination for 2023 is Leatile Moses Kowa, an expert tour guide and travel agent who brings a wealth of experience from the beautiful destination of Botswana. Also speaking to me from Massachusetts in the USA is Aisha Mayanja, the newly appointed Focal Point for Uganda at the United Nations International Federation of Youth who is also the founder of Rural Tourism Initiatives a company managing Ewaffe Cultural Village. And physically on the mics and in the studio with me, I’m fortunate to share space with two seasoned experts in the Uganda travel and tourism space: Bentique Nigwomugisha is a tour guide and a nature photographer who runs a Ugandan-based safari company, the Africanbrownmat Safaris. And last but not least Brian Ahereza is the Business Development Manager at GoExplore Safaris, the winner of this year’s prestigious World Travel Award for Uganda’s Leading Tour Operator.
